     There are a number of ways to do it.  If you're using Intuition
windows you can use the Move() function.  If you're using console windows
you can emit ANSI escape sequences via printf() or putchar().  The escape
sequences are documented in The AmigaDOS Manual's appendix entitled
"Console Input and Output on the Amiga" and in Chapter 33 of the Rom Kernel
Manual (Console Device).

     To move the cursor to line 5, column 12 of a console window send the
following string to the console window:

     "0x9b5;12H"
